Starbucks Poem - Poem by Tom Zart

COFFEE

Around 1615 coffee came to Western Europe Raising a huge controversy and warning cry. Some said it was intoxicating and poisonous And any whom consume it will die.

No one knows how coffee was discovered Though it is said its effects were known before A.D.575. Persian armies carried and ate its seeds for strength Which in battle could decide who would perish or survive.

Arabs where the first to brew its bitter seeds into a drink In a attempt to make it taste better and easier to consume. Soon the new beverage spread to Turkey and Europe As the world became addicted to the harvest of it's bloom.

Thank God for caffeine found in coffee Which helps multitudes make it through the day. Like ancestors of the past it helps energy to last And for it's stimulant we are eager to pay.

UNYIELDING HONOR WORLD WAR-III

ULTIMATE SACRIFICE

Our men and women give the ultimate sacrifice
When they pledge to defend our flag.
In hot spots throughout our world
They defeat our enemies who brag.

Most say their prayers to their own private God
To protect and bring them safely home.
It’s our job as patriots and Americans
To let them know we love them as our own.

Think of all of history’s heroes of freedom
And what they gave up for “Old Glory”.
Nothing has changed for over two hundred years
As our soldiers continue the story.

Those rows of white crosses in manicured fields
Tell the story of ultimate sacrifice and love.
Always remember all we treasure and enjoy
Are because of our soldiers and God above.

SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF WORLD WAR III

Our sons and daughters serve in harms way
To defend our way of life.
Some are students, some grandparents
Many a husband or wife.

They face great odds without complaint
Gambling life and limb for little pay.
So far away from all they love
Fight our soldiers for whom we pray.

The plotters and planners of America's doom
Pledge to murder and maim all they can.
From early childhood they are taught
To kill is to become a man.

They exploit their young as weapons of choice
Teaching in heaven, virgins will await.
Destroying lives along with their own
To learn of their falsehoods too late.

The fearful cry we must submit
And find a way to soothe them.
Where defenders worry if we stand down
The future for America is grim.

Now's not the time to fight one another
Or kiss our enemy's cheek.
All through history it remains the same
The strong enslave the weak.

May God continue to bless America
Refusing evil, the upper hand.
It's up to us to stay resolute
Defending the liberty of Man.
